Italy's National Strategy for Circular Economy identifies the administrative and fiscal tools designed to strengthen the secondary raw materials market in terms of availability, performance and costs; contribute to the achievement of climate neutrality objectives; and implement a roadmap of actions and measurable targets up to 2035. It sets out the legislative framework governing the objectives and the ways and means of achieving them.
Macro-objectives include: enhance competitiveness of secondary raw materials; consolidate EPR schemes; develop fiscal reforms promoting the circular economy; improve traceability of waste streams; mandatory minimum environmental criteria for GPP; focus on strategic industrial supply chains; support industrial symbiosis; and foster circular skills.

This workshop will involve a visit to an asphalt plant which produces and lays rubberised asphalt and a seminar exploring the most recent experiences and innovations in the use of recycled tyre materials in asphalt and road infrastructure.
RE-PLAN CITY LIFE (RElevant Audience Plan Leading to Awareness Network for CIrcular Economy Use of Recycled TYre materials in CITY LIFE) is a LIFE project raising awareness about the use of recycled tyre materials.
They are organising a live workshop with an on-site visit on the use of recycled materials in public works. The workshop will describe the tools put in place by the project to stimulate stronger engagement from public authorities to adopt best practices and green procurement.
Two projects in one event: come and find out more about circular procurement!
This event will launch the C-PRONE project and introduce the Circular Minds project, both of which have a focus on advancing circular procurement. Circular procurement may be a great idea but it's no easier to implement than any other form of procurement - see how these projects aim to help!
